Early build.
I would love to see the tag on this one.

That’s why I provided the info above. The SBD was either Aug. 2 or 3, 1969.In particular the Scheduled build date. These early cars interest me no matter what model.
Call me strange but I want to see it stamped in metal.That’s why I provided the info above. The SBD was either Aug. 2 or 3, 1969.
OK, let me use my lunch break for another post.
@polara71 -- I don't know why you disagree with my reply to @detmatt re: the tag. Most, perhaps even all, of the tag can be figured out using the info provided by @71Polara383.
As noted earlier, we know about the exterior color (EB3) and interior (L2B3) from the ad. The top was V3W white and the side molding inserts were V5B blue (I checked). Wyatt tells us that the lights on buzzer still works, which means that the car must have had the A01 "lights" package. The car has 2-speed wipers, so it did not get the A04 "radio" package. What it does have, as seen in the pics and confirmed by Wyatt, is a rear speaker. From @69CoronetRT, we know that no Y code was included on Belvidere cars till late October 1969, and since this car was built in August 1969 this tells us one more thing about the tag.
Granted, in addition to the scheduled production date (8/2 or 8/3), there are a few things that we don't know about:
(i) the radio -- there is a space for it in the dash, and the dash pad has a single speaker opening, so it was either R11 or R13. Since the car does not have the A04 package, it is almost certain that the car came with the R11 basic radio;
(ii) tinted glass -- the windshield does not seem tinted, suggesting the car had no tint (unless the windshield was replaced at some point);
(iii) pinstripe, if any. I don't think that V7 was available on Polara 'verts in 1970, however -- never seen any;
(iv) the opposite holds for the V01 MonoPaint treatment -- never seen a '70 Polara 'vert tag without it.
So, I submit that the tag must have read something like this:
V01 V5B END
V3W A04 M25 M31 M85 R11
EB3 L2B3 EB3 80? ??????

Disagree again! Doug said no Y0 codes. I asked for clarification on the Y0 code if you recall.
You included A04 when I think you meant to include A01. And IF A01 then L31.
101360 has an SPD of 805 so it's highly probable this car had the same SPD.
